Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moira's symptoms match those of schizoid personality disorder, which is characterized by social withdrawal, emotional coldness, and aloofness without serious cognitive disturbances. Paranoid schizophrenia involves delusions and hallucinations, antisocial personality disorder involves a disregard for the rights of others and impulsive behavior, and undifferentiated schizophrenia involves a mixture of symptoms that do not fit into other subtypes.
